Using spatial, economic, and ecological opinion data to inform gray wolf conservation

Space for Species: Spatial Ecological-Economic Analyses of Biodiversity Conservation

Use of gray wolf algorithm to optimize gas microturbineUse of gray wolf algorithm to optimize gas microturbine

 In this research, optimization of gas microturbine through economic, exergy and environmental analysis has been investigated by the gray wolf algorithm. First, a thermodynamic modeling was performed for each of the above modes, and then using the gray wolf method, optimum points were determined for each systemchr('39')s performance. For modeling, the code written in MATLAB software was used. ...

Reef sharks: recent advances in ecological understanding to inform conservation.

Sharks are increasingly being recognized as important members of coral-reef communities, but their overall conservation status remains uncertain. Nine of the 29 reef-shark species are designated as data deficient in the IUCN Red List, and three-fourths of reef sharks had unknown population trends at the time of their assessment. Fortunately, reef-shark research is on the rise. This new body of ...

Management and Conservation Monitoring Gray Wolf Populations Using Multiple Survey Methods

The behavioral patterns and large territories of large carnivores make them challenging to monitor. Occupancy modeling provides a framework for monitoring population dynamics and distribution of territorial carnivores. We combined data from hunter surveys, howling and sign surveys conducted at predicted wolf rendezvous sites, and locations of radiocollared wolves to model occupancy and estimate...

Evaluating the effects of energy and economic growth on Carbon dioxide emission (using spatial panel data)

Energy is one of the most important inputs in production. Energy usage and energy diffusion of fossil fuels in process of production cause greenhouse gases (CO2) emission and destruction of environment. According to the importance of issues like energy usage and economic growth, this paper, concerning the effects of proximity, evaluates the effects of energy usage and economic growth on emissio...
